Definitions
- the present invention relates to adhesives, more particularly to pressure sensitive adhesives which are "switchable" from a tacky state to a non-tacky or low-tack state such that the switched adhesive has a reduced peel strength.
- the present invention also relates to methods for producing switchable adhesives and to articles comprising switchable adhesives.
- the present invention provides benefits in situations where strong adhesion to fragile surfaces is required. Should it then become necessary to release the fragile surface, the adhesive can be switched to its low-tack state and removed from the fragile surface completely without harming it.
- Certain adhesive products such as adhesive surgical or medical dressings and bandages normally comprise a layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive.
- a conventional adhesive dressing and/or bandage is removed from the patient's skin, it can often cause localised trauma and/or pain to the patient. This is particularly true for patients with a long term condition that requires an adhesive dressing to be applied to the same part of the body repeatedly over a prolonged period, such as stoma patients. It is also true for patients with fragile skin, especially the elderly and children.
- a need has been identified to provide adhesive dressings, for example, which are able to undergo a reduction in peel strength of the adhesive, and therefore cause less localised trauma to the patient's skin upon removal of the dressing, compared to a dressing using a conventional adhesive. Further, a need has been identified to provide such adhesive dressings where the reduction in peel strength can be achieved in a controlled manner in a relatively short time, say from a number of seconds to a few minutes.
- the term "switchable" will be used to refer to adhesives which can be changed from a tacky to a non-tacky state or, more accurately, to a low-tack state.
- low-tack is a relative term, it will be defined here as meaning the condition of minimum tackiness which the adhesive reaches after switching from its tacky state.
- the reduction in peel force may be as great as 99%or as little as 30%. Typically, the reduction in peel force is between 70 and 90 % Examples of known sw ⁇ tchable adhesives may be found in United States
- Patent Nos. US 5,032,637, US 5,352,516, US 4,331,576 and US 5,182,323 which describe adhesives that become less tacky, i.e., are switchable, upon contact with water. However, such adhesives are unsuitable if used on a wound dressing and the patient's wound needs to be kept dry. UV switchable adhesives are described in United States Patent Nos.
- the visible light switchable or low dosage UV light switchable adhesives described in these documents generally comprise an acrylic adhesive based on copolymers of alkyl acrylates, acrylic acid and/or a free radical polymerisable vinyl moiety "modified" or functionalised by a curable moiety bound thereto.
- Typical of the bound-in curable moieties are those derived from anthracenes, cinnamates, maleimides, coumarins, acrylates and/or methacrylates.
- US 2004/0019127 Al discloses a UV-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be cured by exposure to ultraviolet rays even at a low intensity or for short time, which contributes to energy saving and productivity improvements as a sheet for processing, fixation or surface protection of a semiconductor wafer.
- United States Patent No. 4,999,242 discloses an adhesive tape having an adhesive curable by irradiation, for example by ultra violet rays or ionising radiation such as an electron beam, comprising a radiation-curable adhesive layer which is formed on a radiation transmitting-substrate.
- the radiation-curable adhesive layer is composed of an acrylic adhesive, a compound having carbon- carbon double bonds and a silicone acrylate compound.
- the radiation-curable tape can be used in processing steps for the production of semiconductor wafers, ceramics and glass employing a direct picking-up system.
- United States Patent No. 5,942,578 discloses an energy beam curable pressure sensitive adhesive composition which comprises at least two energy beam curable copolymers having energy beam polymerizable groups in side chains thereof.
- the adhesive composition has satisfactory adhesive strength before irradiation with the energy beam and can be cured by irradiation to a degree such that the amount of adhesive residue remaining on an adherend after peeling is extremely small.
- the composition ensures excellent expansibility at the expanding step and excellent recognition at the time of pickup. Also, the composition exhibits high work efficiency because of very low pickup strength at the bonding step, irrespective of the execution of the expanding step.
- United States Patent No. 5,955,512 discloses a pressure sensitive adhesive composition
- a pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising an acrylic copolymer (A), an energy beam polymerizable urethane acrylate oligomer (B) and an energy beam polymerizable compound having one acryloyl group or methacryloyl group in each molecule thereof (C).
- the composition preferably also contains a plastic ⁇ zer (D), a crosslinking agent (E) and/or a photo-polymerization initiator (F) according to necessity.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive composition has satisfactory pressure sensitive adherence and initial adhesion before irradiation with an energy beam and the adhesive strength thereof is sharply reduced whilst maintaining its elasticity after irradiation.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive composition is said to ensure excellent chip alignability in the expanding step subsequent to dicing.
- Adjustment of performances such as switch %, switch time, peel strength, etc. is easier and more quickly done by changing the ingredients in a mixture or by changing the concentration of them, rather than synthesising a new adhesive polymer.
- the production time for a switchable adhesive based on a mixture is a few hours, while that for synthesising a switchable adhesive polymer as described in the prior art is a matter of days.
- the concentration of the most expensive component, the photoinitiator can be decreased considerably compared to the amount of photo initiator required in a prior art switchable adhesive.
- the switchable adhesive according to the invention can be made using commercially available ingredients at a comparable low price and supplied in an ample variation; the end cost of the adhesive is much less compared to "in house” synthesised switchable adhesive polymers.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides an improved switchable adhesive formulation which can be manufactured without the use of multiple solvents.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides an improved switchable adhesive system which undergoes trans formation from a tacky state to a non-tacky state in a relatively short period of time compared to known switchable adhesive systems.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides an improved switchable adhesive system which undergoes transformation from a tacky state to a non-tacky state upon exposure to visible light and without requiring exposure to UV radiation.
- the invention is a pressure sensitive switchable adhesive composition
- a pressure sensitive switchable adhesive composition comprising a mixture, in proportions by weight, of 2% to 80% of curable molecules and 0.05% to 10% of photoinitiator, the balance being adhesive and incidental constituents.
- the adhesive and curable molecules are mutually soluble when dry, although good results are obtained when the curable molecules are uniformly dispersed in the adhesive, said adhesive and curable molecules being mutually insoluble or only partly mutually soluble when dry.
- the amount of adhesive present in the mixture is in the range 40% to 98% by weight, more preferably 60% to 95% by weight, and most preferably 70% to 85% by weight.
- the proportion of curable molecules in the mixture ranges from 2% to 60% by weight, more preferably 5% to 40% by weight, and most preferably 15% to 30% by weight.
- the photoinitiator is present in the mixture in the proportions 0.5% to 5% by weight, more preferably 1% to 3% by weight.
- the photoinitiator is also soluble in the dry mixture of adhesive and curable molecules, although it will be capable of exerting its curing initiating effect upon exposure to an activating light source if finely dispersed through the dry mixture but not dissolved in it.
- the weight proportion for the adhesive is given here in terms of its dry weight and excludes any solvent which might normally be present in a commercially available bulk adhesive.
- the weight proportion of adhesive is from one of the following lower endpoints (inclusive), or from one of the following upper endpoints (inclusive).
- the lower endpoints are 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%; the upper endpoints are 98%, 95%, 90% and 85%.
- the weight proportion of curable molecules is from one of the following lower endpoints (inclusive), or from one of the following upper endpoints (inclusive).
- the lower endpoints are 2%, 5%, 10% and 15%; the upper endpoints are 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40% and 30%.
- the weight proportion of photoinitiator is from one of the following lower endpoints (inclusive), or from one of the following upper endpoints (inclusive).
- the lower endpoints are 0.05%,
- the incidental constituents may be one or more of stabilisers, tackifiers, light scattering particles, fungicides, colorants, humectants, etc.
- the adhesive component may be a hydrocolloid having polymeric chains extending from a core or nucleus, and the reference to the adhesive and the curable molecules being mutually soluble in each other when dry is to be understood as meaning that the curable molecules and the polymeric chains are mutually soluble in each other.
- Hydrocolloid-based medical dressings may be used for skin and wound treatment. When first attached to the skin, dry hydrocolloids are only slightly adherent to the skin, but quickly absorb moisture from the skin and become more tacky.
- the preparation method for the switchable adhesive compositions of the invention is very simple.
- the adhesive component, the curable molecules (monomers and/or oligomers) and the photoinitiator are stirred together in darkness or under red light conditions for about 30 to 60 minutes, most conveniently at room temperature.
- the adhesive component is usually supplied in solution (typically, 40% to 60% solids by weight); the curable molecules are usually solvent free, although some curable molecules of high viscosity may be carried in a solvent; the photoinitiator is usually solid and the most difficult component of the system to dissolve and/or disperse.
- the resulting solution is spread onto a release liner at a certain thickness - typically about 60 ⁇ m when wet - and then left to dry at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- the release liner may be a polyethylene coated paper with some silicone oil on it.
- the spread adhesive is then further dried at 80-150°C for 3 to 10 minutes. A slightly higher temperature and a longer drying time can be used if necessary. After drying, the thickness of the spread adhesive will typically be about 30 ⁇ m.
- the dried adhesive is then transferred onto a test substrate, such as a carrier film, for peel strength and switching evaluation.
- a test substrate such as a carrier film
- the dried adhesive may be transferred to a material for a wound dressing, for example a web of polyethylene or polyurethane film which may optionally be perforated, or a woven or non-woven fabric.
- the adhesive component may be selected from polymers capable of forming shaped bodies, thin walls or coatings. Suitable polymers are biologically and pharmaceutically compatible, hypoallergenic and insoluble in and compatible with body fluids or tissues with which the dressing is contacted.
- Exemplary light transmitting materials for carrying the adhesive polymer layer include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ ethylacrylate copolymers, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, silicone elastomers, especially the medical-grade polydimethylsiloxanes, neoprene rubber, polyisobutylene, polyacrylates, chlorinated poly-ethylene, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, crosslinked polymethacrylate polymers (hydrogel), polyvinylidene chloride, poly (ethylene terephthalate), butyl rubber, ep ⁇ chlorohydrin rubbers, ethylenevinyl alcohol copolymers, ethylene-vinyloxyethanol copolymers; silicone copolymers, for example, polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymers, polysiloxanepolyethylene oxide copolymers, polysi
- the adhesives may be water-soluble, but will most often be soluble in, and hence commercially supplied as solutions in, organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, hexane, toluene, acetone etc.
- Preferred adhesives are polyacrylates, poly- urethanes and polysilicones.
- polyacrylates By the term polyacrylates is meant acrylate, methacrylate and acrylate copolymer adhesives. Indeed acrylate copolymer adhesives are most preferred, e.g. alkyl acrylate copolymers.
- any conventional known adhesive can be used as the adhesive component, including adhesives having unsaturated groups, e.g., natural rubber, polyisoprene and derivatives thereof. It is also possible to use, as the starting or base adhesive, one which is manufactured with bound-in curable molecules; this is mixed with further curable molecules (not bound-in). Preferably, the curable molecules and the adhesive are soluble in each other when in the dry state, i.e., in the absence of a solvent. Alternatively, in the case that the adhesive and the curable molecules are not mutually soluble in each other when dry, or are only partly mutually soluble, they are uniformly dispersed in the composition. Typically, the adhesive (or the base adhesive if a mixture of adhesives is used) will be selected from polyacrylates, polyurethanes and silicone adhesives.
- any conventional known unsaturated compounds could be used as the curable molecules, but preferred examples, used alone or in mixtures, are curable molecules such as acrylic acid esters or methacrylic acid esters of alcohols, glycols, pentaerythritol, trimethylpropane, glycerol, aliphatic epoxides, aromatic epoxides including bisphenol A epoxides, aliphatic urethanes, silicones, polyesters and polyethers, as well as ethoxylated or propoxylated species thereof. Most effective are curable molecules having more than one unsaturated site, i.e., greater than single functionality. Multiple functionalities of 4 or more are especially effective because curable molecules of this type are able to form highly cross-linked three-dimensional polymeric networks which are an important feature of switching, as will be explained below. Also, many curable molecules having multiple functionalities are commonly available at reasonable cost.
- the photoinitiator may be any species which is capable of producing radical species under mild conditions, e.g. visible light, in order to promote radical polymerization reactions in the curable molecules.
- mild conditions e.g. visible light
- the curable molecules when the photoinitiator becomes activated by exposure to visible light, the curable molecules form chemical bonds with other curable molecules and hence create polymeric cross-linking.
- the effect of such cross-linking is to build a three- dimensional polymeric network entangling the adhesive polymer chains, thereby reducing their mobility and free volume.
- the photoinitiator may alternatively produce radical species under the mild conditions of long wave UV. Curable molecules having multiple functionality are able to form highly cross-linked three-dimensional polymeric networks easily and hence exhibit good switching properties.
- the adhesive strength of the adhesive becomes reduced and it becomes less tacky so that it may be peeled more easily from the surface to which it is attached.
- the adhesive mixture may also contain stabilisers which are added in order to prevent spontaneous crosslinking of the curable molecules during storage.
- stabilisers are hydroquinones such as Methoxy phenol (sometimes referred to as hydroquinone monomethyl ether), or 1-Piperidinyloxy- 4,4'-[l,10-dioxo-l,10-decanediyl) bis (oxy)] bis [2,2,6,6-tetra methyl] and Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)prop ⁇ onate).
- the adhesive mixture may also include photo-sensitisers. Since a sensitising species often absorbs energy in a different part of the spectrum from the initiator, more effective use of the light source may be achievable through the incorporation of sensitisers into the mixture. Many photo-sensitisers are complex organic molecules, absorbing in the visible portion of the spectrum.
- the adhesive mixture may also incorporate light scattering particles to increase the effect of irradiation of the adhesive mixture.
- the light scattering particles are an inorganic compound such as silica powder, alumina powder, silica-alumina powder or mica powder with particle sizes of the order of 10 nm or greater, typically up to 1 ⁇ m.
- free radical initiators Any conventionally known free radical initiators may be used. Particularly preferred are those initiators which react to visible light radiation, although initiators which react under shorter wavelength light may be used in compositions of the invention, depending on the application.
- free radical initiators which may be mentioned include titanocene photoinitiators; dye/co-initiator systems, e.g., thionine/triethanol-amine; dye/borate salt systems; dye/peroxide systems and 1 ,2-diketone/co-initiator systems, e.g., camphor-quinone/tertiary amine.
- visible light photoinitiators which include Irgacure 784 because it absorbs light both in the UV and visible spectrum
- examples of visible light photoinitiators are: Benzildimethyl ketal; Phenanthrenequinone; Titanocenes (of which Irgacure 784 is one example); Bis(2,4,6-trimethyl-benzoyl)-phenylphosphineoxide.
- UV photoinitiators are: Benzoin and ethyl, isopropyl or isobutyl ethers of Benzoin; Benzophenone and hydroxy or methyl benzophenones; 2-Methyl- 1 [4-(methylthio)phenyl]-2-morpholiaopropan- 1 -one; Acetophenone and 4'-Phenoxyacetophenone; Benzoyl-biphenyl; Benzil; Anisoin, as well as the Irgacures such as Irgacure 651 (benzyl dimethyl ketal) or Irgacure 907 (2-methyl-l-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-2-morpholino-propan -1-one); or the Uvatones, such as Uvatone 8302 (2,2-diethoxy-l,2-diphenyl ethanone).
- photoinitiators contain phosphine compounds which will not receive approval by the medical regulatory authorities for use near the skin.
- phosphine-containing photoinitiators may be used in other, non-medical, applications.
- Preferred free radical photoinitiators for medical applications are the titanocene initiators such as bis.(.eta.5-cyclopentadienyl) -bis (2,6-difluoro-3- [pyrrol-l-yl]-phenyl) titanium, sold in the UK by Ciba Geigy as Irgacure 784 (Trade Mark).
- the present invention is not limited to use in adhesive dressings. Examples of other technical applications include:
- the curable molecules in the mixture react via a free radical reaction
- the reaction of the curable molecules is visible light initiated through the use of suitable photoinitiators.
- the wavelength of the light used may be less than 700nm, e.g., preferably between 400 and 700nm, particularly less than 550 nm.
- the dosage of light used may vary depending upon the switchable adhesive composition. When a visible light switchable adhesive is used, ambient light may be used and therefore the dosage may vary according to the prevailing lighting conditions. When UV light is used, the dosage is generally greater than

- Molecules of this size are generally understood to be incapable of being absorbed through the skin and hence are less hazardous.
- the adhesive mixtures of the invention are preferably pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and are particularly advantageous in the manufacture of adhesive medical devices as mentioned above.
- PSAs pressure sensitive adhesives

- the backing layer preferably comprises a light occlusive layer and a transparent or translucent layer.
- light occlusive layer is meant, in particular, a layer which is occlusive over the wavelength range in which the photoinitiator absorbs. Especially preferred is a light occlusive layer that is visible light occlusive.
- the light occlusive and transparent layers may be laminated together by lightly pressing them together at the nip of a pair of heated rollers. Alternatively, they may be bonded together using a low peel strength adhesive on the surfaces facing each other.

- an adhesive dressing using the inventive adhesive may be applied to the skin of a patient.
- the light occlusive layer part of the backing layer may be removed.
- the adhesive on the skin-facing surface of the transparent layer can then be exposed to either ambient light or an artificial light source, such as an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, LEDs, etc. After a given time the peel strength of the adhesive will be reduced, allowing the transparent layer to be removed from the patient's skin.

- Preferred dressings are those which comprise a film backing layer, i.e., both the occlusive and transparent layers comprise a film, although other backing layers such as fabric layers may be used.
- film in this context means a thin sheet or web of material. Typically, it could be a thermoplastic polymer. In some circumstances, a metal foil could be used for the occlusive layer, for example where the transportation or diffusion of moisture is of no importance.
- Dressings of the invention may be manufactured using conventional methods, save for the use of the inventive adhesive in place of a conventional adhesive and the requirement not to expose the adhesive mixture to light.

- Such an adhesive tape could be in the form of a surgical tape for medical applications.
- the tape 1 is adhered to the skin of a patient when the adhesive layer 3 is in a tacky state.
- the occlusive layer 4 is removed to reveal the transparent layer 5 and thereby expose the adhesive layer 3 to visible light.
- the visible light causes the photoinitiator to initiate free-radical cross-linking of the pressure sensitive adhesive through the curable molecules incoiporated in the adhesive mix. This results in the adhesive losing its tackiness and peel strength.
- the time required for complete switching of the adhesive from the tacky state to the non-tacky state may vary, e.g., from a few seconds to several minutes.
- the tape may then be removed from the patient's skin with reduced trauma to the patient.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross-section of a medical dressing according to the present invention when in use on a patient.
- Medical dressing 10 is shown attached to a patient's skin 20.
- the dressing 10 comprises a wound facing absorbent layer 30 disposed beneath a protective backing layer 40.
- the backing layer 40 is provided with adhesive 70 which comprises groups that can be cross-linked under the influence of visible and/or UV light.
- the backing layer 40 is provided with a cover 80 which is releasably secured to the backing layer 40 by a weak adhesive 90.
- the cover 80 may be laminated to the backing layer
- the cover 80 overlaps the backing layer 40 at its edges
- the cover 80 When it is desired to remove the dressing from the skin of the patient, the cover 80 can be gripped at its edges 100, 1 10 and peeled from the backing layer
- This irradiation acts so as to generate free radicals that cause the curable molecules to undergo a curing reaction which, after a certain time (depending upon the adhesive used), causes the adhesive 70 to lose its tackiness to such an extent that the dressing can be removed without causing trauma to the patient.
- the peel strength of the adhesive 90 adhering the cover 80 to the backing layer 40 should be less than the peel strength of the adhesive 70 adhering the dressing 10 to the patient's skin. Since the adhesive 70 loses tackiness on exposure to visible and/or UV light, it is desirable that the adhesive 70 is not exposed to the light for a substantial period when the dressing 10 is applied to a patient.
- the adhesive 70 may be initially provided on the surface with release paper (not shown) which is preferably opaque to UV and visible light and which can be readily removed from the adhesive so that the dressing is ready for use when required.
- Figure 3 shows in a schematic cross-sectional view how the invention can be applied to a simple two-layer device such as a removable product label.
- the label is generally denoted by the reference 210 and comprises an adhesive layer 213 composed of switchable adhesive in accordance with the present invention, and an occlusive layer 214 (which may be in the form of a film) overlying the adhesive layer and preventing access of light to the adhesive layer.
- the occlusive layer is also provided with a peel tab 215 that facilitates removal of the label from the product surface to which it is applied.
- the occlusive layer 214 may have a design/indicia on its surface. In some embodiments, the design/indicia may provide the occlusive effect and may therefore be disposed at the interface between the occlusive layer 214 and the adhesive layer 213 so that it is protected from scuffing damage.
- switchable adhesives having bound-in curable groups require painstaking synthesis. Also, they often require switching times of more than 1 minute.
- the polymerisation of acrylate internally functionalised switchable adhesives requires the use of multiple solvents, firstly in order to produce a polymer having a sufficiently high molecular weight and low monomer concentration for suitability as a medical adhesive, and secondly to carry out the reaction of the functionalising moiety with the main polymer chain.
- the switchable adhesives of the present invention can be made from a mixture of readily available adhesives and curable monomers or oligomers containing acrylate functions which, upon irradiation, form chemical bonds between the oligomers or monomers and hence create polymeric cross linking.
- the effect of such cross linking is to build a three-dimensional polymeric network interlocking with the adhesive polymer chains, thereby reducing their mobility and free volume. This change, which takes place very quickly, causes the PSA to become low tack.
- the force required to peel the adhesive has been found to reduce considerably, by at least 60% to 90%, after illumination.
- curable monomers and oligomers used alone or in mixtures, are acrylic acid esters or methacrylic acid esters of alcohols, glycols, pentaerythritol, trimethylpropane, glycerol, bisphenol A epoxides, aliphatic epoxides, aromatic epoxides, aliphatic urethanes, aromatic urethanes, silicones, polyesters and polyethers as well as ethoxylated or propoxylated species thereof.
- the adhesive coating was then further dried in a ventilated fan assisted oven at 110 0 C for an additional 10 minutes, except for Example 3 which was dried for 30 minutes at 100°C. After drying, the thickness of the adhesive coating was about 30 ⁇ m.
- Peel strengths were determined after a dwell time of 20 minutes using a
- LLOYD testing rig L2000R
- FTMl FINAT test method
- Adhesive switching was achieved by exposing the adhesive film (adhered to the HDPE plate) to light through the PET carrier film backing with a light intensity of approximately 12000 lux from a 500W halogen lamp having a broad spectrum. It should be noted that switching times achievable with a light source intended for consumers (LEDs with spectra adjusted to the photoinitiator) will be less than the values obtained with the broad spectrum lamp mentioned above.
- Switching times for the different coatings were measured as the time between the starting time of irradiation and the time when the substantially instantaneous loss of tack occurred, during a continuous peel strength test of about 1 minute (i.e., the adhesive was peeled for a period of time whilst being irradiated). Peel strengths and switching times were measured in quadruple and the average values of switch time and peel strength (before and after switch) were calculated.
- Example 7 The adhesive of Example 7 is particularly suitable for labels because it has a high tack, very easily removable residuals and a very high switch percentage. It is probably not suitable for skin applications.
- Figure 4 is a graph of peel force against time for Examples 3 and 4, showing how the peel force reduces significantly within a few seconds of exposing the adhesive to light.
- Example 4 is an example of an adhesive composition which might find application in a medical dressing for use in treating a chronic wound or a permanent stoma that needs dressing repeatedly and where, if a non-switchable adhesive were used, skin trauma would be significant.
- the adhesive of Example 4 exhibits strong adhesion in the un-switched state but, after switching, the peel force is significantly reduced and a medical dressing using this adhesive could be easily removed after switching without causing discomfort to the patient or traumatising fragile skin.
- Example 3 is an example of an adhesive suitable for very sensitive materials e.g. delicate production line work.
- the adhesive has an initial tackiness which is sufficient to position components reliably on a production line for certain steps in a production process.
- An occlusive layer may be removed at this low tackiness without perturbing the components. After switching, the peel force reduces to an almost negligible value, allowing the processed components to be removed easily from the production line.
- the present invention is not limited to use in adhesive dressings.
- Examples of other technical applications include: removable labels; for shipping and handling of fragile or sensitive parts; production line applications where one or several pieces attached to a switchable PSA tape can be mounted into a structure - the tape can then easily be removed after irradiation.
- Other examples are vehicle labels, shop floor markers, wallpaper and adhesive fixings for posters and/or notices.
